Well, well, well...

Jake, Maddie, and Annika have been reminding me regularly that I've been neglecting the blog.  My deepest apologies to you all.  Summer gets pretty relaxing and with that relaxing Mr. K has a tendency to get a little distracted.  Sorry everyone.

We had a great time out on the day with K.  Aashray, Charlie, Breckan, and Jake all can eat a tremendous amount for 5th grade boys!!!  We saw a great play, and had some good laughs.  Thanks fellas.

Hope you're all getting ready for a great couple years at White Pines Middle School!  I know you'll love it.  We'll miss you much here at Peach, but you're READY!  I have no doubts.

Take care, and stop in soon.

Sincerely,

Mr. K

Greetings,

So I'm in the middle of switching over to a new book, but in the meantime I'm taking a break and reading through some shorter materials.

Yesterday, I dove into the cookbooks we have to start looking for ways to use some of the things from my garden.  I love these little breaks I take between bigger books.  I get a chance to get caught up on some good sources of reading.  We don't always need to be reading  BIGGER books.  Sometimes it's really nice to read something short, such as an article or recipe.

What do you guys think?  Do you ever do things like this?

Take care.

WOW!!  Where do a couple days go?  Sorry everyone.  I let myself simply get distracted.  I actually had two meetings up in Grand Haven Monday and Tuesday.  You'll all be excited to hear we had a meeting about how we can use the "Green Tickets" better next year.  Should be good stuff.  I then had computer training yesterday where we are learning about our brand new grade book on the computer for next year.  Yeah!

Hey, I also finished Wildwood by Meloy.  There is a sequel called Under Wildwood as well.  I highly recommend the book for those who love that animal fantasy style.

I picked up the new Time magazine and read an interesting article about all of the gadgets that houses in the future will have.  I do recommend magazines for you guys after you finish books.  Great way to read something very small, but good before selecting a new book.  The article kind of creeped me out.  You guys know I am not much of a techie, but this article talked about syncing all of your home together.  Meals would be cooked by computers before you even got home, you know things like that.  Interesting, but I'm not sure it's for me.

Keep reading out there everyone and sorry for the days off.

Take care.

Mr. K
